Anyone managed to get screenshots using the Steam overlay to work?

For some reason, even with the option enabled, it doesn't work for me

I had this for a while but after a few launches it seemed to sort itself out.

Anyone had the conversation bug where you cannot exit a conversation? Its rather annoying if it hits have to reload as far as i can tell.

Screenshots is working fine for me, taken loads! This game is just visually stunning, some amazing views.

Caved and bought it about 10 minutes ago, can't even download it due to the Steam server spam.

I think this pretty much confirms this has passed the 1,000,000 sold mark. Nearly 200,000 playing at the same time and America won't of hit peak yet.

What! That dwarfs any figure for current players I have ever seen.

Still need to finish New Vegas and The Witcher 2 before I can commit to another huge rpg. Plus Arkham City, Saints Row 3, L.A. Noire and the gazillions of Steam sale impulse buys are all on the cards.

Does anyone else's game crash every 30 minutes or so?

It happens even when I just leave the game on the menu (I knew to save first because it's been crashing all day)

hows does the multiplayer work in a rpg game?

So I go out and buy it at about half 5, thinking I can have a game tonight since I'm doing nothing, ummm no, it's now downloading 5.7GB? Why? I've bought a disk ffs, I'm not playing this tonight, since it's going to take 5.5 hours before it's finished downloading? :s

Don't you usually just put the disk in and not enter the key into steam, or run the installer from the disk? Tricky stuff

You have to activate it through Steam.

Detrimentum · 11 Nov 2011 at 18:58

Normally you put the disc in, Steam asks you for the CD key, and then it just installs from disc straight into Steam.

I understand that, I meant going into steam without putting the disk in, and entering the key. I should have been clearer

Oh right sorry.

Game looks stunning on my TV which only outputs at 720p, looks much better than my 1920x1080 monitor!

FPS is all over the place though, even at 1280x720 outside i get 60fps when not much is going on, but even looking out over a long distance can make it go down to around 30fps

There are in my game...

Actually, much of what I see in my game looks better than the shots you post. You sure you have everything turned up?

Exactly what I did and no downloading.

How do you pull arrows out of yourself ?

I've had an Arrow stuck in my head since the beginning of the game and I'm sick of seeing it now.
